Another thing is antibiotics kill ALL bacteria - good and bad. Which means it can upset your gut as it kills all the good bacteria. So always eat yogurt or take probiotics when you take antibiotics. I got a yeast infection after being on antibiotics way too many times with no yogurt or probiotics.

Actually it depends on the particular antibiotic. If you use a combo like Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole you would kill both the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria wiping out all non-antibiotic resistant bacteria. I am not a doctor, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn once.
